The steaming, fragrant meat buns, combined with the clean and tidy shop and the warm, attentive service (I hired two nimble rural girls to help), made “Su's Bun Shop” an instant hit upon opening! Every day at mealtime, a long line formed outside the door! Not only did local residents and passing drivers flock to buy them, but even some officers and families from the military heard about the shop's reputation and came specifically to try them.
Business was better than I could have imagined! I was so busy every day that I hardly had time to rest, but the profits were pouring in! In just a month, my revenue exceeded what I had earned from selling marinated dishes over several months!
On the other hand, Lu Jianguo and Bai Ling’s “ Braised Delicacies Business ” faced a complete failure. The marinated dishes they made using my “Fake Recipe” not only tasted strange but also spoiled easily. The soldiers tried them once and never returned. They were reluctant to spend money on quality ingredients and cut corners instead, resulting in an increasingly bad reputation. Ultimately, due to unsanitary conditions, they were reported to the Health Department, and their equipment was confiscated! They lost quite a bit of money!
Lu Jianguo was furious, while Bai Ling was left dumbfounded. They came to confront me, questioning whether I had intentionally sabotaged them. I simply shrugged my shoulders with an innocent expression: “You asked for the recipe yourself, and we settled the payment. If your business fails, who can you blame?”
Seeing them defeated and helpless brought me immense satisfaction! This was their comeuppance for plotting against me! Meanwhile, my “Su's Bun Shop” continued to thrive, gaining more fame, and even attracting interest from potential franchisees. I knew that my career and my new life had just begun!
The success of “Su's Bun Shop” completely transformed my status in the Military Family Compound. Previously, I was just the city wife who had “married up” with Lu Jianjun, seen as an ignorant and spoiled “lazy woman.” Now, I was known far and wide as “Boss Su,” a capable businesswoman who could earn money and even provide job opportunities for military families!
Those who once gossiped about me now greeted me with smiles, affectionately calling me “Sister Qin Yu.” Wang Guixiang, though seething with jealousy inside, no longer dared to boss me around like before; after all, she hoped I would help her son Lu Jianguo find an easy job at the bun shop.
Lu Jianjun’s attitude towards me also took a complete 180-degree turn. He no longer ordered me around but instead began to cautiously flatter me. Seeing my ability to earn money and my rising status among the families in the compound made his pitiful pride and desire for control give way to a thirst for profit. He even started helping with household chores and checking in on me, trying to mend our relationship.
As for Bai Ling, she became a complete outcast in the family compound. With Braised Delicacies Business failing and her reputation tarnished, she grew increasingly sullen and reclusive, hiding at home all day.
Watching all this unfold brought only cold laughter from me. This was reality; this was human nature. When you are weak, there are many villains around; when you are strong, the world treats you kindly.
However, I was not deceived by the current façade of “harmony.” I knew that Lu Jianjun’s flattery was hypocritical and based on my utility. Once I lost my value or he found a better ally, he would not hesitate to kick me aside just like in my previous life.
